From Del Rio to Detroit: Views on the Spurs

It has been a week now since local fans jumped into their cars and poured into the streets of San Antonio after the Spurs won their third NBA title. Similar celebrations erupted in other South Texas towns.

Late Thursday night, and into the early morning hours, Del Rioans joined in the celebration of the San Antonio Spurs’ third NBA championship, according to Brian Argabright of the Del Rio News Herald.

With every key shot and every shrill whistle, the obstacle grew higher and higher, too high to overcome, too high even for the Pistons. And so the reign ended just before midnight, deep in Texas, shot down by sharpshooters, swiped by a team that knew exactly how to overthrow the champs, according to Bob Wojnowski of the Detroit News.

Manu Ginobili might well be the most exciting player to watch in the NBA, and exciting is a great word because it covers exasperating, exhilarating, exhausting, and if you want to watch from the front row, expensive, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

New Cavaliers General Manager Danny Ferry did not take too long to make a first impression. He traded away a mistake of the past in order to look to the future, according to Branson Wright of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
